Jodi Deranja

When we were looking to buy our first home Jodi Deranja was recommended to us as a great agent. After looking exhaustively she found exactly what we were looking for and helped us through the process of buying our first home! That was in 2014, 10 years and two kids later we were looking to relocate out of state and again called Jodi to help us with the sale. She was amazing. While we were out of state she set up inspections, painters, stagers, everything. Best of all she got us a great price for our house! We can't say enough good things, Jodi is amazing!

Jodi took the stress out of finding and buying a home in Los Angeles for my wife and I — no easy feat. It was like having a trusted and knowledgeable friend to advise and guide us through the process. Her experience and command of the local market were reassuring, as was her professionalism. We never had to ask for something twice. Most of the time, we didn't even have to ask once! Jodi's connections to lenders and vendors have been invaluable. We did not make the highest dollar offer on the home we ended up buying, but we got the place because the mortgage broker Jodi recommended understood the heated L.A. market and worked with Jodi to put together a compelling offer with a very short escrow period. Likewise, the vendors Jodi connected us with have done quick, excellent, reasonably-priced work, and knowing that Jodi has vetted and worked with these trades people for years gave us confidence in hiring them. I would not hesitate to recommend Jodi to anyone looking for a home in L.A.

This was our first time selling a home and Jodi guided us through all the steps from start to finish. She helped us put together a timeline for key milestones. Along the way, she provided frequent updates so we knew what to expect. She took time to understand what made our home unique and how to showcase this to buyers. Her experience and knowledge of the market made it a smooth process. Thank you, Jodi!

We decided to work with Jodi for her local knowledge and attention to detail. We appreciate frequent communication and Jodi delivered. She let us know what to expect during the home buying process and was very responsive. Jodi’s positive attitude made her a joy to work with and her honesty was refreshing. We’ve been in our home a month and absolutely love it. We would highly recommend Jodi Deranja to anyone interested in purchasing a home!

We were more hands-on in finding which houses to look at, but I always appreciated how Jodi would be honest about whether or not she thought a house would sell in our price range. When it came time to put offers in, Jodi was very knowledgable in what kind of offer would make us stand out. After only a month and a half of actively putting offers in a very hot market, we got a GREAT house. A lot of this was due to Jodi helping us craft a competitive offer and her relationship with the sellers' agents.

Jodi is an incredibly thoughtful, intelligent, comprehensive agent who knows the market through and through, while also maintaining an incredible network of works, contractors, advisors, lenders (among others), that really help facilitate a smooth buying and selling process. We did both with her, and she was equally adept at both. She has a great eye for what will sell, what doesn't, not to mention an eye for staging and streamlined processes. We came out with beyond favorable outcomes in both scenarios, and we could not be more thrilled. Her calm yet highly personable demeanor creates a working relationship that feels level headed and professional throughout any challenging process. We have already recommended Jodi to other friends!
